What Ever Happened To the Morals In Life

Seems like a dream
Has over taken us now
Tossed in this turmoil
I'm not quite sure how
We've all become numbers 
In this nameless place
Have pity on the whole human race

We've spent years of our future
Trying to run from the past
Relying on memories
That never did last
With so many questions
Who can we ask
Where are the morals that we used to have

Whatever happened to the morals in life
We opened the window
They flew into the night
Can anyone tell me how we'll ever get by
Without the morals that once held us so tight

The fewer the heartbeats
The shorter the time
The deeper the cavern 
The harder the climb
The more that we look for 
The less that we find
Of the morals that we left behind

Whatever happened to the morals in life
We opened the window
They flew into the night
Can anyone tell me how we'll ever survive
Without the morals that we once had in life

Excellent write and so true. Nice style. Check out 1 Corinthinans 6:9-11, if you wish. There is still hope for those willing to change before the end comes!

A sad and truthful write, Mike. Lack of morality is going to cause us to implode. Immorality is destroying our youth. Ok, I'll get off my soapbox now. Well done, Mike. Blessings, Kim

Beautifully written. The rhythm of the poem is like a sad melody mourning the loss of the Morals of Life. If only we could learn how to listen again and to communicate in a format that goes beyond the 140 or so characters of texting, we may redeem ourselves:) Amitiés
